The Mercury Theater on the Air: “Passenger to Bali” 11/13/38

A very effective adaptation of the story by Elias St. Joseph. A man buys passage on a tramp steamer sailing from Shanghai to Bali. But when the ship arrives at Bali, the captain discovers the passenger’s nefarious past makes him a man with no country, refused entry at every port. The passenger becomes a Flying Dutchman and the ship becomes a phantom vessel, unable to stay in any port as long as they are stuck with their unwanted guest.
